Growing up as an actress, I have perfected the skill of multi-tasking. I mean, I was basically always on set while trying to juggle being a high school student at a college preparatory, while also being a JV cheerleader, oh and have a social life. That was a juggle! And I have to say that though it was hard, I was pretty good at it. But nothing could prepare me for the job as a mother. Being a parent takes you to a WHOLE other level. I mean you not only have to take care of yourself, your partner, but now you are responsible for every single detail of these little humans lives, add a few dogs to the mix, and if your lucky, a career and the JUGGLE becomes more of a circus. Somedays I feel like I got this and somedays I can barely keep my head above water! That being said, there is nothing that I would change. I absolutely love everything about my life, and I am so beyond grateful. But the reality is sometimes it is hard, and sometimes I just long for a day that I can sleep in or have a long uninterrupted shower and you know what that is ok. It is ok to be tired, to be worn down. It is at this time when I lean on Michael, my rockstar husband and the best Daddy ever, who has been taking care of the kids for the past few months while I have been shooting Hollywood Darlings and he still gives me the time I need and the naps I long for. I am forever grateful to have a partner in this journey!
To all the parents out there, I salute you! I appreciate the kick ass job you are doing! It is all hard and often times you never get the recognition you deserve, so I just want to say! You ROCK!
Haha, I feel “lucky” to NOT have a job! Being a wife & mom keeps me uber busy. I’m super thankful for my husband too. What would we do without them? 🙂
What i don’t realize is in fact how you’re no longer actually much more neatly-preferred than you might be right now. You are so intelligent. You recognize therefore significantly in the case of this matter, made me for my part consider it from a lot of varied angles. Its like men and women are not interested unless it is something to do with Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs great. All the time maintain it up!
Juggling and keeping your head above water is a daily thing for me! I feel the same, some days I ROCK and sometimes I fail miserably. I’m a single mom to an amazing 9 year old boy…juggling work, commute, homework (my son has ADHD), dinner, clean up, relaxing time, working out for me, and ME time is so difficult! On top of that my son is in choir at school, takes piano lessons, and I am a Den Mother for our local Cub Scouts chapter! I wouldn’t change it for the world though! Good thing I grew up multitasking too!
